AFL Betting

With the 2011 Australian Football League season looming, it’s time to sharpen our AFL betting skills and get ready to have some fun and hopefully make a bit of cash on the way.

First thing to do is put a few dollars on who you think will be premiers this year. This is a possible high return investment as the odds are so good at the moment. It may be worth putting a couple of dollars on the Collingwood Magpies, perhaps the St Kilda Saints for third time lucky or maybe even the Gold Coast Suns as a wild card?

Let’s continue with some handy tips.

1. Remember to only bet what you can afford to lose, this sounds very serious and obvious but the fact is AFL betting is a bit of fun and if you win a heap of cash even better! But don’t put your beer money on it…some things are more important.

2. Do your homework, with so many great football shows on the TV and the internet, AFL betting can be quite an educated guess these days. Don’t leave it all up to chance.

3. Bet with your head not your heart, we all like to see our football team win, but sometimes they just aren’t going to do it. Be sensible and bet to win. It’s not disloyal to bet against your team it’s actually just plain smart.

4. Play the odds. AFL betting sites like Sportsbet and Centrebet actually tell you who they think will win through the odds they release. These websites know the stats and if they give a team better odds they usually win. By betting with the best odds you win less but more often.

Now, armed with these basic AFL betting tips get our there and have some fun, Australian Rules Football is what Aussie sport is all about and that is great sport, mates, fun and a bit of a flutter!

Good Luck for Season 2011
